Description

As administrator, Site Administration block, Front Page, Front Page Restore takes to a settings screen. The help button on this screen directs the user to Files in Moodle Docs. I am guessing that Restore is a better place for this link.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your report. It seems that course restore is affected as well as front page restore. To re-phrase it:

Following the restore link in the course administration block (or the front page restore in the site administration block) takes you to the backupdata directory page (moodlesite.org/files/index.php?id=xx&wdir=/backupdata).

The "Moodle Docs for this page" link takes you to http://docs.moodle.org/en/files/index. It would be better if the link took you to http://docs.moodle.org/en/Restore.

Looking at this issue two years later, I agree that it's a bit confusing to end up in the course files folder after following the restore link. However I don't think it's possible to provide a link to http://docs.moodle.org/en/Restore. What we could do though, is add a [[Restore]] link to http://docs.moodle.org/en/Files.
